UFO in the Alps, geometric lights in the sky

Summary

On July 1, 2015, several people in the Alpes de Haute-Provence observed lights in the sky forming geometric patterns or what appeared to be a flying object. Some witnesses even recorded the event, and local media covered it. At first, the orderly nature of the lights suggested an unusual aerial phenomenon. However, further investigation revealed it was the Patrouille de France performing a night display. The aircraft were equipped with powerful spotlights visible from over 10 kilometers away, which explained the perception of lateral movements and the lack of noise. The technical explanation turns this case into a classic example of how perception can create mystery where there is none.
